Answer:

You can modify the by adding specific ligands

Explanation:

Liposomes are vesicules that result from the self-assembly of phospholipids in an aqueous medium, they resemble cellular membranes and can have single or multiple concentric bilayers. They are really useful for drug delivery because it is a biocompatible system, it can transport hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules and <em>they can be modified with specific ligands in order to reach their target, these ligands can be antibodies, peptides/proteins, and carbohydrates depending on the target.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Can an enzyme be recycled? Explain.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Enzymes serve as catalysts to many biological processes, and so they are not used up in reactions and they may be recovered and reused. However, in a laboratory setting, reactions involving enzymes can leave the enzyme unrecoverable. This process makes the enzyme at once less reactive but more stable.
